I want to setup a GNUPG server at my college. I tried googling, and the only solution seems to be to try on the openkeyserver project. Is there any other way for me to do it?

Setting up an Email server
by Ashwin S. Athram 06 Dec '03

06 Dec '03

Hello, I am trying to setup an email server in my office premises. I want to setup a server which can receive mails for a domain like the following one( giving only the format not the exact one since it is not yet decided): user(a)anything1.host1.domain.com user(a)anything2.host1.domain.com user(a)anything2.host1.domain.com basically its the second subdomain which is changing along with user name, rest of the other things remains same. I have a static IP with me which is yet to be registered for the domain name. Since I am new to this task and don't know how to go about it. Though I have read from a site www.dyndns.org, and they suggest that the static IP should be on the hostname host1.domain.com for above example. Am I right in understanding that? Also please let me know the step by step process of how to go about it, including how to request for the MX and A records settings. Thanks in advance, Ashwin -- ASHWIN S.

Processing OutGoing Emails
by SANS 06 Dec '03

06 Dec '03

Hi All, I need to manipulate (modify headers, check body for certain strings etc, append footer texts etc..) every outgoing email. How can this be done. I have been googling for a long time but no good clue... I am considering the following options... (1) I can pipe every outging email to a PHP script which will do the necessary manipulation and then forward the email to SMTP. I wonder if this is possible (2) I can pipe every outgoing mail to MySQL. I can then use PHP scripts to manipulate the email and fwd it to the SMTP. (3) I will have to write a PHP script (whch will behave like an SMTP server) and bind it to port XX. The Email clients can be configured to deliver the email to Port XX instead of port 25. I don't really know how complicated this PHP script will be !! Any inputs, pointers are deeply thanked. I am open to using Sendmail / Postfix / Qmail. regards, Sans __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/

Hi, Came back from Bangalore Linux yesterday and it's been a great event. I had taken two sessions there - one on Smarty PHP Template Engine and one on Jabber. Was wondering when do we have the next GLUG meet. Is it 14th? If we have enough people interested, I could give a talk on either of the above topics (if not this month, may be next).

Only a _few_ students learning computer science know about it. How many of them actually use it I dont know. So there is a majority who dont know about Linux. These people are using pirated softwares primarily. As RMS says towards building a better society, we need to spread Linux awareness. 2) There are companies which use Properietery software for their needs which can easily be fulfilled by FLOSS software. This will help these companies reduce their operational costs and increase profits or reduce price for their product. In any way economy is benifitted. I dont want to start a flame war here over TCO. I belive that Linux has lower TCO than properitery softwares. 3) FLOSS offers a lot of learning opportunities in the technology. a generation strong in the technical field will fetch more work to India than just BPO work. And when I say technology, that includes Microsoft technologies like .NET for which one can start developing applications on Linux platform using MONO or DotGNU. (I just came from Bangalore Linux 2003 where I saw a few demonstrations of how Mono can be used to code in C#) In my opinion the agenda should be to make more and more people aware about the viable alternative out there. Let this event get good media coverage, let it be known in all the colleges in Mumbai. And not just Engineering one, but all the Arts/Commerce/Science colleges. In my opinion such events should be arranged in all major cities. Since we stay in Mumbai, we should take responsibility to conduct such an event. The problem I see is how many volenteers we have? how many of us has time to devote? Can we handle an event at such a volume? Regards Aseem

| there has to be a justified reason , purpose and need for it to happen ... | not just like a fun fair .... i mean AGENDA... what do u want to showcase / | address some problems... can u really showcase or address that issue ... Can site at least few reasons. I might be wrong :) 1. Commercial point of view - Spreading linux awareness amongst companies. In my current organisation, I asked my boss if I could use Linux as my desktop. The answer was a straight away "why do u need Linux ? ". And the company spends so much time and resources on windows patches and security alerts just because everybody is running windoze. 2. Programmers perspective - clearly Bangalore and Hyd are ahead of Mumbai in technology race. In such a situation ppl from Mumbai have to shift to Blr and Hyd for better career prospects. While I do appreciate growth of Blr and Hyd, I do not see any reason why Mumbai should be left out of the race. Holding such events will definately foster technical growth in Mumbai. 3. End user perspective - Mumbai with all its banks and financial institutions is financial capital of the country and a promising market. 4. Maybe even govt. agencies can benifit ( if they find time from the various scams :) ) --yogesh

Building mod_jk for tomcat on RedHat 9
by Rakesh Pal 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

hi All, I have successfully installed Tomcat 4.1.29 on my RH 9 machine and the http://localhost:8080/ is working fine. I have also preinstalled J2SDK on my machine. Now my major headache is building connector module (mod_jk.so) for my Apache to communicate with Tomcat. I have tried to follow a lot of documentations step by step to build the connector but without any success. After setting CATALINA_HOME & JAVA_HOME env variables on my machine this is a brief description of what i did set CONN_SRC_HOME = /usr/src/jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.29-src. Run the buildconf script to to create the CONN_SRC_HOME/jk/native/configure file. by issuing CONN_SRC_HOME/jk/native/buildconf.sh Run the configure script with the path to the apxs file on your system and the options below: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs till here everything went fine without any errors. But when i issued the make command after a long compilation procedure the make exited with error 1. it said unable to find libapr-0.so module. I tried to google solution for this but without help. I would really appreciate if any one can help me out of this situation. Has any one built mod_jk.so successfully on RH 9 if yes please tell me how to fix up with this problem. regards Rakesh Pal CompTIA Linux+ Professional ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...

kernel 2.4.23
by linuxdev 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Important news, albiet a little stale. 2.4.23 stable kernel is out. You might want this one for 1. acpi fixes 2. new usb additions/fixes. 3. brand new XFree86 synced drm driver modules. 4. lots of other fixes I don't know about :D The XFree86 one is important if you want any sort of h/w acceleration for display. eg. quake :D also if ur a mplayer buff like me (who isn't ?) u'll want this one to take care of the pain of recompiling the X drm drivers and plugging them into the kernel. happy compiling, C p.s: no probs. faced as yet.

India's biggest 'open source'...
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

INDIA'S BIGGEST 'OPEN SOURCE' MEET GETS UNDERWAY DEC 2 IN BANGALORE FROM FREDERICK NORONHA In a country of vast numbers, figures sometimes cease to surprise. But organisers were themselves thrilled on roping in 2000 registered delegates for a major open source conference over 72 hours before the meet's start on December 2. "A little while ago, we breached the 2000 registered delegates barrier, and are heading for the stars. We are going to need tin openers and shoe-horns to get everyone in," said a tongue-in-cheek announcement from Atul Chitnis, one of the main organisers of the Linux Bangalore 2003. India's southern garden-city of Bangalore considers itself the 'Silicon Valley of India' and this will be the third year running it has been hosting the largest-so far open source conference in this country of a thousand million. At 2000 registered participants, the number crossed the official seating capacity of the conference. But, organisers said: "This does not necessarily mean that you wont get to participate, since not everyone who registers actually shows up, and some people will attend on some days, and miss others. However it does mean that we are going to be seeing a full house again this year." Online-registration costs Rs 300, while those who sign-up at the venue, the prestigious Indian Institute of Sciences, would have to pay Rs 500. In dollar terms, this is just approx US$ 6 and US$ 11 respectively. But for Indian participants, this obviously means more than its dollar-equivalent suggests. Food comes included for this three-day event. Hewlett Packard, Novell Inc which recently bought over Ximian and Suse, and local Bangalore firm Exocore Consulting are sponsors for the event. India's federal government, which has earned some flak for appearing unsure of its support to Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), has also come in with sponsorship, as in the past year. Organisers went ahead to call this "India's biggest annual Open Source event". Till now, they've had no competition in either size or ambitions. But in 2004, the country's first exclusively-FLOSS magazine called 'Linux For You' has announced plans for a national meet in Delhi. It is not clear still what size and shape that meet would take on. Said the Bangalore organisers: "What differentiates this event from commercial events (that are typically driven by vendors) is that this event is completely conceived, organised and driven by the Open Source community, focussing on technology talks and a technology expo." It is seen as being built on a "low-cost" model, where Rs 300 to 500 brings in access to "all talks and sub-events". This year, over the three days, this event promises nearly 100 talks. Speakers pulled in from across the globe include Miguel de Icaza (Mono/Ximian), Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP), Nat Friedman (Ximian), Jeremy Zawodny (MySQL/Yahoo), Bdale Garbee (Debian), Harald Welte (iptables) and others. Local big names from across India's open source movement would also be present, though those in the Free Software camp -- with its nucleus around the also South India-based Free Software Foundation (India) -- are known to sometimes keep off this event due to differences in approaches. Some of those from India taking part would include KDE-developer of Indian origin Sirtaj Singh Kang, Anjuta-developer Naba Kumar, one of the co-founders of the Linux India movement Sudhakar 'Thaths' Chandrasekharan and others. Organizers have planned the screening of a movie ('Revolution OS'), a music concert by the fusion group Laya Taranga, and a rock concert by the group Phenom. "Bangalore, already the IT capital of India, is quickly becoming a hothouse for Open Source development, with companies like Ximian/Novell, IBM, HP and others setting up development centres there," said the event's organisers. More details about the event at http://linux-bangalore.org/2003 Avik Sengupta <avik.sengupta(a)itellix.com> discussed the possibility of holding a PGP Key Signing Party at the conference. He explained: "Unlike SSL/SMIME certificates (where trust flows from a single authority), PGP operates on a 'web of trust', generated through identifying and signing each other's keys."
